I would be very happy with the Raiders late 1st pick and it makes the most sense. And truthfully a lot of flash goes in the upper part of the first round and the Steelers find very good talent late consistently. I'd go wr LB or corner. I'd feel very good moving forward that way. Plus there would be a ton of FA money available in 2020. No AB, no Bell and unfortunately no Shazier.
Peter King believes AB will be traded soon for a 1st rounder
- Thread starter Steelers1356
- Start date
Raiders 1.24 or Packers 1.30...
Both are very good options, if offered for Mr. Big Chest.

The team will be better off without the bitter egos.
Sucks losing the talent, but the Steelers have always been a workhorse team. Maybe they get their mojo back.
The raiders look like the potential as well. Here's hoping.
John Gruden says, "hi"...
I'd not be mad w/ Bruce Arian's #1 pick in the second round either, personally...
Opps - that's a typo..."Coach stop hacking my laptop!!!"

LOL, you still think Oliver will go in the top ten?. He might not even go in the top 15. At pick #20, the Steelers would be fools to pick him. He's a 4-3 DT only. Too small for 3-4 nose, too short for 3-4 end.
I think his combine weight is BS. Why not work out? Cause he wants to lose some weight first and do it on campus? I think so. He knee has to be fine by now.
why do the vertical and broad jump then? extra weight would have negative impact on both of those
He will weigh again at his Pro Day before he does the workouts
Aaron Donald does pretty well at his size on the DL...and Oliver is taller and basically the same weight and his 32 reps on the bench shows he is strong enough
One by one all your negative marks on him have been proven incorrect
oh except the fact that a guy shorter than average also has arms shorter than average...that one was just amazing for you to notice.

No worries, your secrets such as living with your parents, and drinking cranberry juice are safe with me
Arians > Tomlin.

Why didn't he run the 40, do the 20-yard shuttle and the cone? Because he wants to lose some weight and avoid others on the same state doing better.
Those who skip combine drills usually are hiding something unless injured. Compete on the stage!
I was listing to Tony Pauline on the radio today. He doesn't think Oliver is among the best 4 DL players in this draft and lists the same reasons I said long ago.
I did not see anyone on the web mention his short arms or he could play LB before me.
Please STOP, he's no Donald. Donald had two seasons to 10+ sacks in college. Olvier's best is 5.5 See the difference? Do I spell out he didn't do it vs. top opposition either in 2018?
You are so going to lose this bet.

I might joke around but I refuse to make age an issue! I hope I'm his junior in age.
reports are he was nursing a hamstring injury. Why didn't Q. Williams lift?? IS he weaker than believed?
The link has been posted a few times to the article that came out months prior to you mentioning Oliver could play LB
All the reasons you stated long ago have been shown to be incorrect...so.......
Did Donald play NT the majority of time in college? It is a lot different rushing from over the center than it is farther outside.
Oliver had more TFLs in his first two seasons than any player ever....so by that standard he is better than Donald....
will he go in the top 10? who the **** knows....as I have said multiple times it will come down to which guy teams feel fill their needs best.....
when he excels in the DL and LB drills later this month, there is very likely to be a team that falls in love with his abilities.

I think you have to paint it on his forehead to acknowledge he was wrong about the first on the web comment. Otherwise he is clueless.
As for his “short arms”, former longtime GM and far longer talent evaluator Pat Kiran said today regarding Oliver’s arm length. “His arm length isn’t an issue, because he beats you in so many different ways. Hands, strength, feet speed, gap penetration....all negate any issue with his arm length.
Interestingly, Oliver had over 60+ plays in the BACKFIELD during his last couple years. That averages out to 2-3 plays per game.” Kiran said, he is perfect as a 4-3 DL and some DC could be very creative with Oliver because of his hand strength and penetration speed.

I like they are telling teams to get their final offers in. We will be done with both problem children sooner than later. Yes!

Come on Raiders, get it done! Give us one of your firsts and he's all yours. Derrick Carr is jonsing for #84. Do it!
one rumor is the Raiders are considering trading for Brown and signing Bell, with the intent to use their first pick on Kyler Murray.
which may be why Arizona is considering Murray now.
